The state is constituted by an atoll of the ocean Pacific of only 21,4 Kmq (as the italian island of Giglio), set to west of the Islands Gilbert, entirely surrounded by a over 30 kilometers long coral barrier.
It is the smallest republic of the world, extremely inhabited (density grazes 600 abs / Kmq).
The only true resource is represented by the phosphates, that are exported in the great near nations: Japan, Philippines, Australia and the New Zealand.
Unfortunately the resources are in exhaustion!
